They're Just Words...
May 26, 2011
Words can make all the difference.
Laced with venom, dripping with sarcasm, drunk with affection.
Overused. Understated.
We often stay silent, too afraid to commit verbal suicide.The plunge- that if we take, no return. Often pondering, over thinking. Risk it all or lose everything? Too expensive words have become. Easy as breathing, safe within our thoughts. Glass warfare; beauty becomes disfigured. Murdering one another with simple syllables. The scars are permanent reminders. The worst someone can say is no, right?
